PAYING OF HIGHWAY NO. 13 NOT LIKELY Kosciusko and Elkhart counties have come into the limelight again regarding the paving with cement, and re-routing of state highway No. 15 between New Paris. Elkhart county, and Milford and Leesburg. Kosciusko county. According to information obtainable at the offices of the Indiana state highway commission a few weeks ago a delegation of Warsaw road boosters interested in the 25 per cent county aid plan, provided the highway No. 15 is cemented from Warsaw to New Paris, assured the highway commission that Kosciusko county would approve the aid, plan and the new routing of the highway from Leesburg to New Paris on the west side of tjie 11 nona Railway and Big Four tracks. This being the case the state commission thought the matter was settled. Members of the highway commission were' enlightened, however. last week when a large delegation from Elkhart and Kosciusko counties representing citizens from New Paris, Leesburg and Milford called on the commission and petitioned the commission to leave the present route of state highway No. 15 unchanged. This body also favored the treatment of this road with the tar preparation which the commission a year ago had intended to put on this highway when it was stopped by those interested in cementing the highway. The result is that the last Elk-hart-Kosciusko county delegation which aftw the commission last week w'as informed that the state highway commission can not change the proposed new route of the federal engineers. Indications now are that since no county aid is forthcoming that the cementing and re-routing of No. 15 will not occur in 192 s *. Whether the commission will give the temporary tar treatment on the preseent base and routing remains to be seen. There was some talk of a petition containing some 2.50 Por more names being presented to the state commission asking that the original plan of 1926 be carried out and that the tar treatment be put on the road until the state lets the contract for the cement highway. O — AMERICA FACES EAST It’s the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. All over the United States for the space of two minutes there falls a hush and —America Faces £ast!

When a peacock got into the top of the tallest tree in sight and began his ugly call, it was almost a sure sign of falling weather.” The peafowl with their raucous voices, were a great nuisance however, especially to late sleepers on Sunday morning. McCormick continues and it is very uncommon, nowadays, to find one outside of a park or museum. Continuing his reminiscenses of other days. McCormick mourns the passing of the old Wiley Sweeting apple, once prevalent in Indiana. “It was a dark red apple.” he says, “and w f as the sweetest 1 ever tasted.' To his list of almost forgotten apple varities the old man adds the Hoss apple, the Limber Twigs, the Seek-No-Furthers and the Gem tan. “There was also one called the ‘Grindstone 1 which had to be kept much longer than a year before it was fit to eat.” McCormick concludes his article with a tribute, to the Shanghai rooster once famed in song and story. “The Shanghai hen wasn't much use as a layer,” he admits, “but the lordly Shanghai as big as a small turkey, would j have been a match for three of our modern roosters in a scrap.” NOTICE Paving assessments.

THK 15-MONTH CALKND.V* January 1, li}2B, falls on a Sunday. The next time our present New Year’s Dav comes on Sunday will be in im So if the 13month calendar is to go into effect in the easiest possible way, beginning the week exactly as at present, something must be done about it fairly soon, or we shall wait another 5 years. The idea of the 13-month calendar, which is strongly favored by the U. S, Weather Bureau, is that there will be 13 months of exactly 28 days each, necessitating an extra month probably set in between June and July. There will be one day left over, and it is proposed to call this “Year Day” and make it a universal holiday between December 28 and January 1, All in favor, say aye!
